Dear faculty\ncolleagues \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Evergreen State\nCollege (\u201cEvergreen\u201d) and United Faculty of Evergreen (\u201cUFE\u201d) reaffirm the\nvalue of summer session work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evergreen has\nregularly offered some summer curriculum which constitutes one quarter of a\nmulti-quarter offering, and thus is required for student progress (e.g.\n\u201cPractice of Organic Farming\u201d). In these cases, we have agreed to recognize\nfaculty workload by adjusting start and end dates for individual faculty\ncontracts and compensating faculty during the summer according to the academic\nyear salary grid (CBA 12), rather than the summer salary schedule (CBA 29.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evergreen has\ndeveloped new curriculum for the Master in Teaching (MiT) program such that\nsome students enter that program during summer quarter as part of their regular\ncourse of study. We recognize that the summer quarter of the Master in Teaching\nprogram is part of a multi-quarter offering which is required for student\nprogress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer 2021,\nEvergreen and UFE agree to compensate faculty teaching in MiT according to the\nacademic year salary scale (CBA 12), rather than the summer salary schedule\n(CBA 29.2).  The quarter will generally be treated as occurring outside\nthe academic year: faculty will not accrue sabbatical nor accrue experience\nyears for their teaching, teaching partners accrued during this quarter will\nnot be counted toward contract conversion or teaching partner obligations, and\nthe quarter will not be counted as one of the quarters required for contract\nconversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both parties agree\nto revisit the question of summer compensation for the MiT program by April 15,\n2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please contact Trevor Speller if you have any questions. A\nsigned copy of this letter of understanding will\nbe posted on the Provost\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Regards \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
